Problem rendering certain HTML in v15 and v15.1 that worked in v14

[kschaldenbrand]

Attached is a Zip file containing an HTML document that is not displaying well in the newer versions (v15 and v15.1) of TX Text. I've tried using TXWords from each of these versions in order to eliminate any coding issues that might exist in my program. If you scroll down towards the bottom of the document, there is a large section where the black background and orange background bleed-through onto the text, making it unreadable.

This document will display much better in v14. Not quite as cleanly as in a web browser, but at least it's readable.

The source for this is an email sent from CareerBuilder.com.

Is there anything that can be done in v15.1 that would make this document render a little better??

Thanks,
-Kurt

Hi Kurt,

First of all, you are using TX Text Control to display HTML website, which it has simply not been designed to do. That is what browsers are for
Anyway, the table is correctly displayed because the table background has been set to orange (FF6500), but TX Text Control does not support filling a paragraph with a background color.
That is basically why the background color is bleeding through.
Unfortunately, I don't see a way to improve the displayed result at the moment, sorry.

Gunnar,

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, I'm not trying to display a website; my application imports emails (typically resumes or CV's) sent to the user, which are stored in a database for searching. Most HTML-formatted messages come in fine, but it's this particular format from CareerBuilder that is causing problems.

The frustrating part is that the earlier version of TX Text reads the same HTML in a way that is much cleaner than the current version.

The issue here is that actually more HTML tags are supported by the new XHTML filter which has been introduced recently.
In your case that means that the result may not look like in version 14.
Anyway, TX Text Control is not a HTML viewer, but imports HTML for editing and the new filter does a pretty good job importing HTML.
